March is Developmental Disabilities Month

President Ronald Reagan declared March to be Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month in 1987, urging “all Americans to join me in according to our fellow citizens with such disabilities both encouragement and the opportunities they need to lead productive lives and to achieve their full potential.”

Now, nearly 30 years later, Service Coordination continues to work to support individuals with disabilities. Each day, service coordinators listen to the wants and needs of individuals we support while helping to guide each person towards his or her goals in life. Service Coordination celebrates developmental disability awareness this March and welcomes you to show your support. Getting involved is as easy as mentioning Developmental Disabilities Month on your social media accounts, writing a blog about your life or just talking with friends about why disability awareness is important to you.
